Add August Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m6s

13 of August's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the Duplex
I class feasts of St. Lawrence and the Assumption of the B.V.M. The
Assumption's presence confirms this app's calendar already maps fixed
BVM feasts, despite an older note in the parent workspace CLAUDE.md
suggesting otherwise -- flagged in memory as stale documentation to
verify against, not trust blindly. 3 saints left unsourced (Common-only
or Nocturn-1-only vigil content).

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for the Holy Machabees, Martyrs (Aug 1,
# sharing the date with St. Peter's Chains — see st-peter-ad-vincula.yml).
# No genuine SanctiM match: the only SanctiM file for this date,
# `SanctiM/08-01.txt`, bases `@Sancti/08-01` (Peter's Chains, not the
# Machabees) — a missed pre-1955-pool candidate rather than a genuine
# SanctiM case (see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints,
# vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/08-01r.txt, English/Sancti/08-01r.txt.
# Single lesson (Lectio93), one continuous excerpt of St. Gregory
# Nazianzen's sermon, no responsory given in the source.

Quidnam Machabǽi? Horum enim nómine dies festus præsénti frequéntia celebrátur. Qui,
etsi apud multos non sunt in honóre, quod illud certámen post Christum non
suscepérunt; tamen digni sunt qui ab ómnibus honoréntur, quia pro pátriis légibus et
institútis fortes constantésque se præbuérunt. Nam qui martýrium subiére ante Christi
passiónem, quid factúri erant, si post Christum persecutiónem passi fuíssent, ejúsque
mortem, nostræ salútis causa suscéptam, ad imitándum propósitam habuíssent? Quorum
enim, nullo propósito exémplo, talis tántaque virtus fuit; an non ii, exémplum illud
intuéntes, fórtius in certámen descendíssent? Quin étiam mýstica quædam et occúlta
rátio, mihi quidem atque ómnibus Dei amatóribus valde probábilis est, néminem eórum qui
ante Christi advéntum martýrio consummáti sunt, id sine fide in Christum cónsequi
potuísse.

What were the Machabees? For it is under their name that the Festival at which you are
this day assembled is kept. It is true that many persons do not hold them in honour,
because they fought before the coming of Christ; nevertheless they deserve to be
venerated by all men, for they bore themselves bravely and faithfully in defence of the
laws and ordinances of their people. They that underwent martyrdom before Christ came,
what would not have been their deeds, if they had suffered persecution after He came, and
had had before them for a pattern the Death which He embraced for the sake of man's
salvation? With no example to lead them, their bravery was what it was; had they had the
example before their eyes, would they not have gone down with double nerve to the battle?
There is a mystic and subtle idea, which seemeth very likely to me and to all lovers of
God, that none of those who were crowned with martyrdom before Christ came, could have
been so, unless they had had faith in Christ.
